 Performance | |  Weight |
The Suzuki Jimny 1.3 16v with a T@B 320 RS with an actual weight of 750 kg is in general a good match and suitable for journeys on most kinds of roads, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
The motor preformance of the Suzuki is in general sufficient. And also the weight of the T@B with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

- T@B 320 RS: 750 kg.
- Suzuki Jimny 1.3 16v: 1335 kg.
- Noseweight: 50 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 56%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 193 points).
- Speeds of 69 mph (112 km/h) to 76 mph (122 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 95 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2900 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 24.7 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 181 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 12%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (5100 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 58 mph (93 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Suzuki is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 56%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 66%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 242 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
- Performance is sufficient.
- Safe driving is possible.
- It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.
